We need to Support Our Local Police and Keep Them Independent of federal control and intervention. One of the oldest programs of The John Birch Society is the Support Your Local Police and Keep Them Independent campaign. Back in the 1960’s The John Birch Society recognized the dangers of a national police force and prevented the establishment of a citizen review board of the New York City Police Department. Currently there is an ongoing effort to usurp local control of our sheriff and police departments. By creating pressure from below (riots) and pressure from above, (federal oversight and intervention) we are witnessing a transfer of control from our local police department to central management by the federal government. These nationally publicized riots are being funded from behind the scenes and the rioters are transported from city to city, creating the appearance of a local grassroots concern. What you are seeing presented by the controlled media is no accident and all despotic governments must have a national police department in order to achieve total control. If this is allowed, we will experience many good and patriotic American Citizens being arrested and detained indefinitely by this federal monster. If you doubt me, take a quick look at the history of despotism. First and Fourth Amendment rights are completely ignored and this will only get worse if we allow this to continue.

The founders of our Republic created a weak central government with limited enumerated powers and checks and balances, leaving the majority of the power to the sovereign states. Domestic issues were clearly left under the authority of the states as made clear by James Madison in The Federalist #45 and in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments of our Bill of Rights, a.k.a. limitations of federal authority. Our local sheriffs and police departments role is to maintain peace, protect our freedoms and to protect us from federal interventions. Yet with federal bribes, military equipment transfers, and unconstitutional dictates from federal judges we are experiencing the transfer of power to the national government. While dozens of federal agencies have their own SWAT teams, that is not enough for those that wish to impose tyranny. To create a national police force might attract unwanted attention from congress, so the deception lies in the commandeering of our local departments. Using the tactic of “Divide and Conquer” and “orchestrated crisis” many uninformed citizens do not recognize this transfer of power and out of fear will do anything for security. Additionally people have been led to believe that only the federal government can do the job. This is a very dangerous trend. A local policeman lives, worships, dines and recreates with the citizens. An out of town federal agent has no connection to the citizens and will act in total compliance with his federal master. Realize that local police can be moved into areas of created need when necessary and where they have no connections with the people that will be oppressed with unrestrained power.

Plutarch stated that “ No beast is more savage than man when possessed with power answerable to his rage.”

My mother had a terrific fear of police; she grew up in Nazi Germany and her father was killed by the SS, Hitler’s nationalized police. Without that nationalized police, Hitler, or Stalin or Pol Pot etc. could not have wreaked the havoc that they had!
